Biography

I am Lecturer in German at the School of Modern Languages and Cultures and acting Programme Director for German in spring 2025. I am the convener for Level 2 German Culture and Language as well as the year abroad contact person. I am also co-convening the Histories and Subjectivities research cluster.

Outside of Glasgow, I am the Secretary of the Association for German Studies in the UK and Ireland (AGS), and I am the Reviews Editor for Oxford German Studies.

I studied German Literature and Theology at the Universities of Leipzig (Germany) and Aix-Marseille (France) and received my PhD from the University of Bristol in 2017 with a dissertation on the Marxist appropriation of 19th century author Heinrich von Kleist in East German literature and theatre. Before joining Glasgow, I spent four years in Dublin (Ireland) as Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the UCD Humanities Institute and School of Art History and Cultural Policy, preceded by posts at Durham University, and the Institute for Languages, Cultures and Societies (ILCS, former IMLR), University of London.

 

Research interests

My research focuses on interdisciplinary approaches to diversifying the research on East German cultural production pre- and post-1990, as well as on 19th to 21th Century literature, theatre and film.

My first monograph, 'Der dialektische Kleist' (Transcript, 2018), offers the first in-depth reception history of Heinrich von Kleist’s works in literature and theatre of the GDR. My co-edited volume, 'The GDR Today' (Peter Lang, 2018) promotes interdisciplinary approaches to East Germany by gathering articles from the fields of literary and visual studies, history, sociology, translation studies, museum studies and curating practice.

My upcoming second monograph, 'Neubau Atmospheres: East German Cultural Remediations of Modernist Architecture' (Berghahn Books, 2025), intersects East German modernist architecture, film and literature. It combines the affective experience of the built environment with the remediated cinematic and literary responses to modernist housing, addressing the perspectives of class, gender, and age.

I am also working on projects in urban humanities and transnational / transcultural studies: I am the co-editor of the Open-Access volume 'Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood' (Leuven UP, 2022), exploring transcultural encounters in urban neighbourhoods from transnational perspectives and various geographical regions. A third co-edited Open-Access volume, entitled ‘Entertaining German Culture. Contemporary Transnational Film and Television’ (Berghahn Books, 2023) explores how Netflix and similar streaming services have modified and reimagined the historical narratives of German post-war cinema.
